    dood!
    i love that feature, but then again, how many devs deal with 500+ classes.

    Thanks for the tip. After following it, I found there’s also a button in the toolbar called “Mark Occurances” which lets you toggle that feature on and off. Thought you’d like to know, as I find the feature useful sometimes, but annoying most of the time.
